Swear to god if we don't stump up the cash to get Vidal then Woodward/the Glazers can get to feck.
 
As I've mentioned before, I don't agree with the valuation of Vidal on here. I feel like alot of users are over-valuating him due to being a dream signing after . Sure, he is one of the best midfielders in the world and those usually don't come available for a reasonable price. And if you compare the figure to other recent transfers, that sum doesn't seem too high but keep in mind that we probably overpayed for both Herrera and Shaw.
Since Juventus are not reluctant to sell, I'm pretty confident that we can get Vidal for around 30m - maybe even including players in that sum.
 
Because Vidal is Chilean?

No shit, but think about it.

They are expecting a bid this week, that information would be coming from United's end or even the Italian end if it had been discussed during Evra talks. They're a faux ITK that is using the Chilean bit to make t seem realistic and it does just the opposite. They're suggesting a Chilean journo has spoken to someone close to the Vidal party, of that's the case they are also suggesting that the Vidal party have been in direct contact with United and that we will be bidding for him at a particular time. Also, LVG isn't heading back to Manchester now, he's preparing to play Brazil before he comes home a day earlier than he would have.

It's so far fetched it's ridiculous.
 
You don't spend £20m to make your £30m signing feel unsettled.

Take that money and add it on top of an offer for Vidal. Then get Daley Blind for cover.



You would never play Shaw at centreback, he's about a foot short for that.

It depends entirely on where the pair see their best position. If it's left back in both cases then it doesn't matter where you play them, they'll be pissed off. Ricardo would only make sense if he sees himself as a midfielder or winger who's been shoe-horned in to left back.
He's 6ft1.
 
:lol: Why would a Chilean journo know any more than a British or Italian one?!

It's not uncommon for journalists to know people close to their country's players. For instance, US journalists regularly beat European ones to stories involving US players moving clubs in Europe. Not because they know more, but because those players are more important to them and they're connected to the agents who make the deals happen.

A Chilean journo could easily call Vidal's agent/brother/cousin/father, who they will have cultivated a relationship with already, for info.

I think you need to be a touch more cynical, you won't make it through this transfer window if you believe everything you read.
 
:lol::lol::lol:

We paid £30million for an 18 year old left back, but some idiots claim we are put off Vidal (Who happens to be one of the best midfielders in the world) because of his £37million pound price tag haha, talk about stealing a living.

That's correct

Also if i'm not mistaken, Vidal's agent is Chilean and could be feeding developments to the Journo's in Chile.

I didn't say anything about believing it, only answered your question. If the clubs agree to keep a transfer quiet, the only source of leaked info would be from the player's representatives. There's a much greater chance they would tell a journalist in their country that they've known for years rather than ringing up Jamie fecking Jackson.
 
The 2nd tweet is hilarious. As if Van Gaal couldn't think that far ahead.

I don't think he had any option but to take RVP off, he could barely walk. Same with the other two subs. Martins Indi was a red card waiting to happen, and there's no way De Jong would have lasted 120 minutes.
 
RVP clearly the only established penalty take with the balls to take the first pen.

Robben and Sneijder nailed on for the two who refused.

It's a shame because with RVP and Krul on the pitch they'd have won the shootout.

If that's the case it was completely warranted, which LvG may have had more insight into given Van Persie's stomach issue. If he was sick going into the match, I'm curious why he didn't start Huntelaar and sub RvP on later.
